I've heard lots of good things about this show, although I haven't seen any of the episodes and I have no Idea what it is about. All I know is that it is written and directed by the team that are doing the new Star Trek film.
Could someone give me a background on it (no spoilers though)? I really like the X-Files so if it is anything like that then I am sure I will really enjoy it.
Basically... weird things are happening, specifically people are being killed/dying in some very bizarre ways (like an airline crash where everyone inside the plane has turned to jelly). The FBI begins investigating & finds that it needs expert specialist scientific information to solve the mystery... and the expert is a mad scientist (Dr. Bishop) currently locked-down in a psychiatric hospital. They get him released under the care of his son (bright, skeptical, and living on the wrong side of the law)... the mad scientist, his son, and a small team of FBI agents work together to solve the mystery... that leads to a larger mystery (called "The Pattern"), and uncovers agents serving another master within the FBI.
It is sort of like crossing "CSI" with "The X-Files"... with a bit of "Lost" and "Heroes" for good measure.
"Fringe" and "Battlestar Galactica" are my only 2 must-see shows... well, and (I'm ashamed to admit) "American Idol".......
